MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mercedes-Benz C (D5 TPO) between September 2007 and August 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 08 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (23 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 57 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”; “Front Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”.
